      I just started the Clinical Study NCT02388906.  I am stage IIIB and this trial is for either Yervoy or Opdivo with placebo for stage IIIB and above full resection of lymph nodes. 

      I was told when I signed up for the study that BMS (the sponser) would cover all treatment costs that are directly related to the study and I would be responsible to pay for all "Standard of Care" for my diagnosis. 

      I have had 3 infusions so far and it turns out I was billed for everything but the drugs.  Is there anyone else on this study and what were you billed for?

      I would like to email privately about this to compare but I have been billed for all CT scans, all infusions (Chemo room) and all DR visits to have the DR sign off on my labs to get the infusion.  The only thing I was not billed for was the drugs.

      I have to question how they can charge me for infusions since almost half can be a placebo? 

      You can PM me directly.
